My husband and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Uppingham with a mortgage. We like our Uppingham solicitor, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Uppingham property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We feel that this is inequitable; are we not able to require that the bank use our Uppingham lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Uppingham conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a property in Uppingham but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Kent Reliance will not permit this. Why were they approached?
Any conveyancing practitioner being on a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Kent Reliance of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Uppingham.

I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Uppingham bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Uppingham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must follow the CML Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
18 days into a sale of a flat in Uppingham. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged a fortune by the managing agents. To date we have forked out £225 for a leasehold management pack and then another £118 for additional questions supplied by the purchaser's property lawyer.
You will not have control over the level of the bill for this information but the average costs for the information for Uppingham leasehold property is £395. When it comes to Uppingham conveyancing transactions it is standard for the owner to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that requires capped charges for administrative tasks. There is no statutory time limit by which they are obliged to issue the information.
